I'm still a bit shell-shocked, figuring out what to make of it all....
But life has to go on and get back to working again....
This tragedy is still hard to comprehend in its magnitude. I finally checked on a few friends I have in New York City, and luckily nobody I knew was hurt.
One friend of mine works as a programmer at Goldman Sachs, which is located close to the World Trade Center.... After the first plane hit, he got out of his building and he's safe. But unfortunately, he had friends and colleagues who died in the World Trade Center buildings....
Nobody I knew from Boston seemed to be on either of the two hijacked planes from Boston, so I breathe a sigh of relief there too.
Still, something like this shakes you to your core. I feel for those who had friends or loved ones who died on any of the flights or in the buildings....
But, it's time to press ahead and get back to business....
The best way to combat this is to get back to getting things working again. Not to do so means that they've accomplished what they intended, so getting things back to "normal" is the best way to fight back.... Count your blessings, get the wheels turning once more, and push on....
